Volkswagen launched the second generation of its Scirocco coupe 30 years ago, based on the same platform as the original model. To celebrate the occasion, the automaker is reviving the Mk2's GTS moniker in a new edition of the current Scirocco that will make its debut at this week's 2012 AMI in Leipzig, Germany.

The new Scirocco GTS is powered by a 2.0-liter TSI petrol with 207hp (210PS) and comes equipped with bespoke styling cues that hark back to the more colorful 1970s and 1980s.

It will be sporting sportier front and rear bumpers, flared side skirts, black and red racing stripes, red brake calipers and matching colored mirror caps and 18 inch wheels and a black exhaust tip. Check out some pictures after the jump:
